UV Sterilizer. Good or Bad?
So I was reading one of my magazines again here today and came across an article that was about the world of UV sterilization. Basically seemed a bit one sided but admitted the one downside of UV being that it kills Phytoplankton and such. His argument for that is that our tanks are constantly producing more so the effects are minimal. The water clarifying and reduction of waterborne disease kind of outweighs it. Now after reading and pondering I did some searching and didn't really turn much up so I figured i'd ask. So Im wondering who's running UV? What wattage and flowrates are you running? What are you trying to achieve from UV sterilization?
